The FSF today released the fourth and 'last call' draft for version 3 of the GNU GPL. The Foundation will hear comments on the latest draft for 29 days, and expects to officially publish the license on Friday, June 29, 2007. The new draft incorporates the feedback received from the general public and official discussion committees since the release of the previous draft on March 28, 2007. FSF executive director Peter Brown said: "We've made a few very important improvements based on the comments we've heard, most notably with license compatibility. Now that the license is almost finished, we can look forward to distributing the GNU system under GPLv3, and making its additional protections available to the whole community."

Like what? All the BSD's use GNU packages, as does Mac OS X and even Solaris is GPLv3.

So that only leaves, you know, a Microsoft OS or one of the hobby OS'es.

Sort of a faustian bargain, don't you think?

So be it.

I honestly prefer MS over the FSF any time.
